Description
This is a post-conviction application for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to Article 11.07, V.A.C.C.P. Applicant was
convicted of murder and sentenced to confinement for life. The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction. Zepeda v. State,
No. 04-83-00320-CR (Tex.App. - San Antonio, delivered April 18, 1984, no pet.). The judge of the convicting court made findings
favorable to applicant's claim that he received ineffective assistance of counsel during his trial for murder because counsel
failed to object to the omission of a jury instruction concerning accomplice witness testimony or request such instruction.
The court recommended that relief be granted. Gerardo Pruneda testified that on December 3, 1981, he drove applicant and four other men from Laredo to Zapata so that one
of the men, Roberto Espinoza, could pick up some clothes from a relative. As they started out applicant directed them to return
to the house where they had been so he could get a rifle he wanted to sell. After applicant obtained the rifle, the group
went to Zapata, picked up the clothes, and headed back to Laredo. On the way back, the driver, Pruneda, stopped to pick up
a hitchhiker. The hitchhiker, David Solis, climbed into the back of the station wagon where Espinoza and Eddie Saenz were
seated. An argument ensued between the three and Pruneda stopped the car at a rest area along the road. Pruneda testified
that he got out of the car and walked behind the car where Solis, Espinoza, and Saenz were fighting. Pruneda grabbed Solis
and pulled him away from the others in an attempt to break up the fight. Applicant, who had gotten out of the car carrying
his rifle, hit Solis in the face with the butt of the rifle. Applicant told Pruneda that if he did not let go of Solis he
was going to kill him. Pruneda let him go and applicant shot Solis in the face, killing him. Applicant told the others not
to say anything about the murder.
